Report road safety issues

As part of the West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership and the West Yorkshire Vision Zero Partnership, local authorities are committed to preventing deaths and serious injuries on the roads in West Yorkshire. Excessive and inappropriate speed is one of the fatal five behaviours, which are the main factors contributing to fatal collisions.

We also recognise the anti-social and intimidating impacts of speeding on local communities, affecting their perceptions of and actual safety on our roads.

The Safety Camera Partnership promotes safe speeds by enforcing speed limits across the road network at known casualty hotspots and at other locations where there is evidence of risk associated with speed.

The use of speed cameras is just one tactic used to improve speed compliance and may not necessarily be the tactic of first resort. Other possible intervention that may be considered include education/publicity, changes to signage, road layout, and other enforcement options.

As part of their updated guidance, the Safety Camera Partnership are now able to enforce speeds at community concern sites where traffic data shows there is evidence of speed limit non-compliance, following complaints from a local community.

You should report sites of concern to your local authority to be considered for a speed monitoring assessment. A list of contacts for each district in West Yorkshire can be found below.
